I don't think Carolina would have let him walk for nothing. Could have still had him back on a 1 year deal as a RFA I believe

We gave up quite a something. Fletcher somehow gets bent over when he should be doing the diddly

So what else are they going to do? Can’t imagine it stops with DeAngelo.

This is the dumbest thing I've seen today. But it's early.

There’s no way this is the dumbest thing you’ve seen today if you truly live in Gilbert, AZ.

There's a lot more to it then he has a history of character issues.

- The cost to acquire him
- The cap hit they don't have
- The locker room

AND

Ellis is done. Same thing when they signed Hayes, they knew Patrick was done.

- Glak18

1. the cost was minimal imo. He isn't a 30 something guy
2. D needed to be addressed. Especially the PP.
3. Never seen any issues mentioned he is bad in the locker room. Seen it said just the opposite.

What's left?

Maybe trade Konecny for an aged vet goaltender?

Agreed, but supporting the president at that time questioning lockdowns shouldn’t make you a pariah, just like supporting Biden and pro choice shouldn’t make you one now? Most people are in the middle, a little left or a little right, and condemning someone for an opinion or two they have is ridiculous. People seem to be really critical of others but rarely use that same degree of scrutiny on themselves.

I don’t think anyone is arguing from a point that he might wear a MAGA hat . It seems like you are reaching

Pay attention. You might hear Mastriano say 10 year old rape victims should complete their pregnancies.

Man, go take a peek at DeAngelo’s Wikipedia article and *just* read the Rangers section. Isn’t it possible that his MAGA bullpoop has nothing to do with it, and people don’t want a toxic racist bumhole on this team? Doesn’t this team already have enough internal struggles?

That is your take. IMO the picks are overvalued. Look at the Flyers drafting in the rounds 2-4 the last decade. Based on that wont miss much.

Plus in 2 years when the Flyers are still floundering, they will recoup some of this picks. Maybe more. Maybe less.

50 point defenseman waived and also traded for picks...neither team's fans cared.

Just saying.

I’m looking past the player. I’m looking at asset management.

There is a team that spent one million in cap space to have him come in, and produce for a year. Then there is Fletcher, and his Flyers.

If you don’t think this is an overpay, even ignoring what I posted above I don’t know what to say.

- FlyerFan3260

They are in win "now" mode. So no it isnt an overpay to me.

Comparing last off season to this one is apples to oranges. He had very little value. He then had a great year to build up his value on and off the ice.

admittedly i dont know every ins and outs. im not talking about trump this or that, thats politics and thats his business. but some of the stuff reported about how he treated people was pretty poopty and he just acted out in other instances. That being said, sure he could be wonderful behind closed doors. Let's see how he acts. right now, the material on him makes him enjoyable to dislike.

i agree with the on ice product. he will help it. he brings an element that they needed big time. i just dont think he is SO good that he will single handedly vault them to contention status (not a knock on him, i dont know if any one single defender would do that right now). So to me, he increases the chance of say finishing 4th and missing out on wright, or some other equivalent of that next year.

this move, while not his fault, collectively pulls the flyers in the exact opposite of the direction they should be rowing.

Do you seriously take Wikipedia as gospel? It's open source and anybody can edit what it says.

The most important question that popped into my head...does the contract include a NMC at all?

That seems very Flyers to do.

I know I read he made racists comments I think when he was in Juniors. Can someone point me towards more recent comments. Plus aren't people allowed to grow, I mean the late great senator Robert Byrd was in the KKK and "reformed" himself?
- WhiskeyMan


He's been given multiple chances and has worn out his welcome in multiple places. And it hasn't just been what he's said, he's been suspended for abusing refs, benched for refusing to play defense and other maturity issues. As Bingo said before, he's just a dumbass.
